<p>A friend once popped up this question during a casual conversation <em>"Where do you draw your inspiration from?"</em>. And, without a moment's thought I blurted, <em>"from people's stories".</em> And as I recall that chat, I feel there could have not been more truth in that answer. People are the best inspiration for people!</p>
<p>Taking cue from this multitasker <a href="http://therodinhoods.com/forum/topics/there-s-a-fleximom-in-every-mom" target="_blank">fleximom</a>, if they can do it, so can YOU!</p>
<p>(P.S. I had intended that this presentation be ready by March 8th, but I got delayed by a few days and today as I was posting this I realized that last year's presentation was also published on March 13th. Don't coincidences make you smile??)</p>

<p>But designing a logo for your startup may get you into trouble if you are not aware of some basic fundamentals. I've seen lots of people losing money and redoing their logo after making such mistakes.</p>
<p>My 8 years of experience as a professional graphic designer and co-founder of a creative studio made me the go-to guy among my peers when it comes to designing a logo. So I thought of sharing my knowledge for the benefit of the whole startup community. Here you go:<br/> <br/>

<p>Being in the games business allows me to get creative while bringing forth insights on generating app downloads, organically, that we at games2win have picked up along the way. I stress 'organically', because, we’ve been successful in generating 46 million downloads WITHOUT spending a single $US…!</p>
